By Whose Teeth
To perceive wrongness
Wrong, deformity
Disorder
There must be
A measure — metric —
Against which
The wrong is perceived
The dentist
Hygienist — cannot
See calculus, tar
As wrong —
Without knowing
Seeing
Untarred, uncalculused
Teeth
The metric must
Conform
To like
For the like
Teeth
For teeth
Bone for bone
Heart for heart
But what if
The metric —
The measure against which
What is perceived
Is political
Social
Cultural
Linguistic
Economical
That
Is psychiatry
